The Vietnamese pavilion showcased advanced technology products and solutions from outstanding Vietnamese enterprises. It is expected that Vietnamese businesses can connect with potential investors and partners while introducing their startups and innovative initiatives at the pavilion.
Meanwhile, the "Vietnam Day" event created an energetic atmosphere for innovative ideas.
In his opening remarks, Vietnamese Ambassador to Singapore Tran Phuoc Anh emphasized that the Vietnamese government has identified innovation and technology as the main drivers for breakthrough growth.
He noted that Vietnam is accelerating policies that support digital infrastructure development, empower innovative startups and expand international collaboration – reflecting the country’s strong commitment to the global innovation ecosystem.
Trixie LohMirmand, Executive Vice President of the Dubai World Trade Center and CEO of KAOUN International, expressed her admiration for the dynamism and goals of the Vietnamese government.
She remarked that Vietnam always aims for inclusivity, which is why her organization decided to come to Vietnam with strong support from the NIC.
On this occasion, NIC Deputy Director Kim Ngoc Thanh Nga and Trixie LohMirmand signed a Memorandum of Understanding, officially announcing the organization of GITEX Frontier in Vietnam in 2026 and 2027. This is seen as an important milestone, opening opportunities to bring one of the world’s leading technology exhibitions to Vietnam, contributing to enhancing the country's innovation status on the international stage.
As part of the "Vietnam Day," two thematic discussions were held, focusing on leveraging Vietnam's competitive advantages in innovation and positioning Vietnam as the next innovation hub in Southeast Asia and the role of venture capital in accelerating growth in the high-tech sector in Vietnam.
